Sometimes it’s difficult to know what to buy a new home owner, so we have put together some of the essentials and a few extra’s that might just be “sooo… them”. It’s the little things that first-time buyers don’t think about; they’ve got the house, the couch, the washing machine and fridge but there is a lot more that goes in to making a house a home! Gillies have all the right ‘bits and bobs’ to do just that! Great gifts are about giving people the tools to build their own life, as well as home comforts that settle them in to their new surroundings.
Start with the basics, its always a good idea to check what they have already, but most will be needing the essentials including a kettle and toaster. For this gift you want to go for something sleek and simple that will look good in every kitchen. The SMEG range does this perfectly, the range comes in a variety of colours including white and powder blue. These top of the line appliances aren’t an expense most first time buyers can afford so treating them to these will surely be most appreciated!
